Steven W. Simon
An American Author
Unflinching fiction and unapologetically honest poetry.
About
Steven W. Simon is an author of literary fiction and poetry. His work lives in the margins of American life—rust belt towns, interstates, small diners, families holding on by a thread. The outsiders. The misfits. The ones worn down by failure who keep showing up anyway.
